5 Sunglasses Brands You Need to Own This Summer

Once upon a time you had a trusted pair of sunnies that you’d fish out of a drawer come summer and pack in a bag for the beach. Those days are long gone. Now we wear sunglasses all year round because we understand that those harmful UV rays don’t go away just because it’s winter. Maybe you’ll stick to the Shield sunglasses all winter, they go with everything and always look great, but come summer you really need a few different styles. Something a bit less sober, a bit less serious. There are about fifty different frame designs out there, but for each of those frame designs there are hundreds of variations. This is not intimidating, this is fun. Find new styles and build a collection of sunglasses to suit every mood. It’s always worth paying for a quality brand, you know that you’re getting quality lenses and frames that won’t fall apart after a few weeks. Here’s five brands that are all reliable, fashionable options and they are all available online.

Michael Kors

The Michael Kors take on Aviators feature a metal frame with rose gold details and blue mirror lenses, very light and very stylish. Or you might prefer the Wayfarer variant ‘Women’s Jan’, stylish acetate in a choice of three colors. All sunglasses come in a variety of polarized and non-polarized lenses.

Miu Miu

A little pricey, but what you get for your money is head turning style. Micro cat eyes and oversized shapes. There’s nothing ordinary in this collection. Cloud frames, heart frames, round frames in deliciously thick acetate, wraparounds and of course, all the colors of the rainbow. A kaleidoscope of choice.

Coach

Quality design and functionality with lenses that provide UV protection and are distortion free. Characterized by chunky temples with a signature grommet at the tip. Coach are great value sunglasses and their big lenses make them a good choice for driving.

Ray-Ban

The most famous sunglasses brand in the world. Everyone needs a pair of Ray-Bans in their collection. The Aviator, the Wayfarer, the Clubmaster, they are all original Ray-Ban designs. Not that Ray-Ban rest on their laurels, they are constantly updating old favourites and introducing new designs. Ja Jo’s are intended to tap into the ‘bright-eyed energy and fun-loving vibe of the festival world’. Woodstock, here you come.

Tiffany & Co

Yes, you are paying for the name but what you get along with that is a range of classic and contemporary shapes ‘engineered with exacting workmanship and finished with original details.’ Who couldn’t fall in love with the sumptuous glamour of their diamond point cat eyes in vibrant acetate?
